Ryan Lochte has phenomenal backstroke technique. His kick is bigger than I usually recommend - he can do this because his legs are very powerful. Experiment in practice to find the kick that works best for you.
Watch the video 5 times:
1. Watch his kick.
2. Watch his head position.
3. Watch his arms. How does he move his arms above water? How does he move them below the water?
4. Watch the way his hips and shoulders rotate from side to side as he swims.
5. Watch the whole stroke. Try to feel the rhythm of the backstroke in your body as Lochte swims. Rotate your shoulders from side to side along with Lochte as you watch.
